@node Initial Parameters
@subsection Initial Frame Parameters
A list of buffers that have been selected in this frame,
ordered most-recently-selected first.
-@item font
-The name of the font for displaying text in the frame. This is a
-string, either a valid font name for your system or the name of an Emacs
-fontset (@pxref{Fontsets}). Changing this frame parameter on a frame
-also changes the font-related attributes of the default face on that
-frame.
-
@item auto-raise
Whether selecting the frame raises it (non-@code{nil} means yes).
implemented.)
@item scroll-bar-width
-The width of the vertical scroll bar, in pixels.
+The width of the vertical scroll bar, in pixels,
+or @code{nil} meaning to use the default width.
@item icon-type
The type of icon to use for this frame when it is iconified. If the
The name to use in the icon for this frame, when and if the icon
appears. If this is @code{nil}, the frame's title is used.
-@item foreground-color
-The color to use for the image of a character. This is a string; the
-window system defines the meaningful color names. Changing this
-parameter is equivalent to changing the foreground color of the face
-@code{default} on the frame in question.
-
-@item background-color
-The color to use for the background of characters. Changing this
-parameter is equivalent to changing the foreground color of the face
-@code{default} on the frame in question.
-
@item background-mode
This parameter is either @code{dark} or @code{light}, according
to whether the background color is a light one or a dark one.
-@item mouse-color
-The color for the mouse pointer. Changing this parameter is equivalent
-to changing the background color of face @code{mouse}.
-
-@item cursor-color
-The color for the cursor that shows point. Changing this parameter is
-equivalent to changing the background color of face @code{cursor}.
-
-@item border-color
-The color for the border of the frame. Changing this parameter is
-equivalent to changing the background color of face @code{border}.
-
@item tty-color-mode
@cindex standard colors for character terminals
This parameter overrides the terminal's color support as given by the
@code{tty-color-mode-alist}, and if found, the associated number is
used as the color support mode.
-@item scroll-bar-foreground
-If non-@code{nil}, the color for the foreground of scroll bars.
-Changing this parameter is equivalent to setting the foreground color of
-face @code{scroll-bar}.
-
-@item scroll-bar-background
-If non-@code{nil}, the color for the background of scroll bars.
-Changing this parameter is equivalent to setting the background color of
-face @code{scroll-bar}.
-
@item display-type
This parameter describes the range of possible colors that can be used
in this frame. Its value is @code{color}, @code{grayscale} or
@code{mono}.
@item cursor-type
-The way to display the cursor. The legitimate values are @code{bar},
-@code{box}, and @code{(bar . @var{width})}. The symbol @code{box}
-specifies an ordinary black box overlaying the character after point;
-that is the default. The symbol @code{bar} specifies a vertical bar
-between characters as the cursor. @code{(bar . @var{width})}
-specifies a bar @var{width} pixels wide. The symbol @code{hbar}
-specifies a horizontal bar, an underscore-like cursor. @code{(hbar .
-@var{width})} specifiles a horizontal bar @var{width} pixels high.
+How to display the cursor. Legitimate values are:
+
+@table @code
+@item box
+Display a filled box. (This is the default.)
+@item hollow
+Display a hollow box.
+@item nil
+Don't display a cursor.
+@item bar
+Display a vertical bar between characters.
+@item (bar . @var{width})
+Display a vertical bar @var{width} pixels wide between characters.
+@item hbar
+Display a horizontal bar.
+@item (bar . @var{width})
+Display a horizontal bar @var{width} pixels high.
+@end table
@vindex cursor-type
The buffer-local variable @code{cursor-type} overrides the value of
@item internal-border-width
The distance in pixels between text and border.
+@item left-fringe
+@itemx right-fringe
+The default width of the left and right fringes of windows in this
+frame (@pxref{Fringes}). If either of these is zero, that effectively
+removes the corresponding fringe. A value of @code{nil} stands for
+the standard fringe width, which is the width needed to display the
+fringe bitmaps.
+
+The combined fringe widths must add up to an integral number of
+columns, so the actual default fringe widths for the frame may be
+larger than the specified values. The extra width needed to reach an
+acceptable total is distributed evenly between the left and right
+fringe. However, you can force one frame or the other to a precise
+width by specifying that width a negative integer. If both widths are
+negative, only the left fringe gets the specified width.
+
@item unsplittable
If non-@code{nil}, this frame's window is never split automatically.
@end ignore
@end table
+@defvar blink-cursor-alist
+This variable specifies how to blink the cursor. Each element has the
+form @code{(@var{on-state} . @var{off-state})}. Whenever the cursor
+type equals @var{on-state} (comparing using @code{equal}), Emacs uses
+@var{off-state} to specify what the cursor looks like when it blinks
+``off''. Both @var{on-state} and @var{off-state} should be suitable
+values for the @code{cursor-type} frame parameter.
+
+There are various defaults for how to blink each type of cursor,
+if the type is not mentioned as an @var{on-state} here. Changes
+in this variable do not take effect immediately, because the variable
+is examined only when you specify a cursor type for a frame.
+@end defvar
+
+These frame parameters are semi-obsolete in that they are automatically
+equivalent to particular face attributes of particular faces.
+
+@table @code
+@item font
+The name of the font for displaying text in the frame. This is a
+string, either a valid font name for your system or the name of an Emacs
+fontset (@pxref{Fontsets}). It is equivalent to the @code{font}
+attribute of the @code{default} face.
+
+@item foreground-color
+The color to use for the image of a character. It is equivalent to
+the @code{:foreground} attribute of the @code{default} face.
+
+@item background-color
+The color to use for the background of characters. It is equivalent to
+the @code{:background} attribute of the @code{default} face.
+
+@item mouse-color
+The color for the mouse pointer. It is equivalent to the @code{:background}
+attribute of the @code{mouse} face.
+
+@item cursor-color
+The color for the cursor that shows point. It is equivalent to the
+@code{:background} attribute of the @code{cursor} face.
+
+@item border-color
+The color for the border of the frame. It is equivalent to the
+@code{:background} attribute of the @code{border} face.
+
+@item scroll-bar-foreground
+If non-@code{nil}, the color for the foreground of scroll bars. It is
+equivalent to the @code{:foreground} attribute of the
+@code{scroll-bar} face.
+
+@item scroll-bar-background
+If non-@code{nil}, the color for the background of scroll bars. It is
+equivalent to the @code{:background} attribute of the
+@code{scroll-bar} face.
